You give me too much credit. I made many dumb decisions in my life. I am working on coming to terms with them. I am giving no predictions how society is going to be, since I am not in the position, I suppose. Only on a more optimistic note, I am positive about us humans that we don't let ourselves to be too dumbed down when things start to become really crazy. Humanity puts itself constantly to the test. Failure and success may held itself in balance though, but what is perceived in a human beings lifetime are tilts towards one or the other extreme. To stay cool headed about it, is crucial, I think.
I read an excellent book about the climate change topic. In one part it speaks about models of prediction and how false these models can be.
I also enjoy crafting, restorations of elegant, old tech, homesteading, and similar apolitical content
It helps to stay grounded, I agree.
